Museum Street and Lendal Bridge to close for repairs

City of York Council have announced Museum Street will be closed to vehicles overnight for three days in March so that essential resurfacing work can take place.

The closure, which will take place on Monday, March 23, Tuesday, March 24, and Wednesday, March 25, will require the road to be closed from St Leonard’s Place to Station Road.

RECOMMENDED READING:

This will be effective from 8pm to 5am on three consecutive nights and will also mean Lendal Bridge is closed to all road traffic, including buses.

Pedestrians and those using mobility aids will be able to use the pavements whilst the works are going on.

During the day (from 5am to 8pm) the buses will operate as normal and the roads will reopen by 5am daily if deemed safe.

Alternate routes will be marked during the repairs, guiding traffic via Station Road, Queen Street, Blossom Street, the A59 Holgate Road, Poppleton Road, the Water End bridge, the A19 Clifton, and Bootham to the Gillygate junction.

Bus services will operate as usual outside of the closure hours and on-street parking will be temporarily suspended near the working areas.
